Choose Splash and Dash for a Low Upfront Costs and Incredible Growth Potential

At Splash and Dash, our goal is to make it easy for self-driven entrepreneurs, investors, and business owners to start and grow multiple profitable locations. While we certainly don’t require our franchise owners to open multiple store fronts, Splash and Dash is perfect for those who are always challenging themselves to build more.

If you can mobilize the funds listed above, you’re already financially qualified to start a successful Splash and Dash franchise. We do not require you to finance the entire project on your own. You can use many different financing methods. Each situation is unique, and we encourage you to choose the financing option that works best for you.
